early for her to deliver.
    Luckily they had no trouble parking. They found a spot at a meter along the street near the hospital and were able to hurry into the building. They took the elevator up to the second floor and stopped at the nurses’ station to check the board for which room she was in.
    “I don’t see her name.”
    “Me either.”
    “Can I help you folks?” a nurse asked looking up from the chart she was working in.
    “ Keely Jones. Has she been admitted yet?” he asked.
    “She may hav e been admitted as Keely Wright,” Sue added.
    The nurse scanned a print out and shook her head. “Sorry. The only Wright we have is Jama Wright Landers.”
    Sue began to laugh.
    “What’s so funny?” He frowned and glanced at her.
    “Don’t you get it ?” She lightly hit him on the shoulder with the back of her hand. “That text wasn’t about Keely, but Jama. Keely’s not in labor, but Darren’s sister Jama. The twins are coming.”
    “Then why would Darren text me?”
    Sue shrugged. “Who knows.”
    “The family is waiting in the sitting area at the end of the hall if you wish to join them,” the nurse offered.
    “Thank you.” Sue smiled and slipped her arm around his. She looked up at him. “Do you want to go see for yourself?”
    He nodded and they started down the hall to the waiting area when t he elevator doors opened and Keely and Darren stepped off. They both looked surprised to see them there.
    “What are you two doing here?” Keely asked.
    “I got Darren’s text and I thought it was about you.”
    “What text?” Keely looked at her husband. “Darren?”
    He winced. “Sorry bro. I got a little excited when Kyle called. I’ve set up a group in my phone so when Keely goes into labor I can reach all of the family at once. I wasn’t thinking and I used it to let them know about Jama.”
    “But you didn’t say Jama.” Alex pulled out his phone and showed him the text message he got. “And after Keely was put on bed rest today I—I thought the worst. It’s way too soon for her to go into labor.”
    “I thought he was going to hyperventilate,” Sue said.
    “Oh, Alex.” Keely hugged him. “I’m sorry.”
    “I am too.” Darren patted him on his back. “Can you forgive me?”
    He nodded and set his sister away from him. “Keels, shouldn’t you be off your feet?”
    “Yeah. I need to get to the waiting area and sit down. My doctor will not be happy with me if he sees I’m here instead of at home following his orders.”
    Darren wrapped a protective arm around Keely’s waist. “I tried to get her a wheelchair at admitting downstairs, but she wouldn’t hear of it.”
    “I’m not an invalid. I can walk,” she protested, looking up at him. He kissed her on the top of the head before they began to walk down the hall.
    Sue smiled. She always found Keely and Darren’s relationship very sweet. And she loved watching them together at Wright and Associates. If you didn’t know they were married you’d think they were very fond of one another because they did not put their relationship on display by kissing or hugging in the open.
    Alex turned to her. “Shall we hang around and wait a little while since we’re here?”
    “We might as well.”
    He offered her his hand and she took it, liking his firm, confident grip as they walked down the hall.
    “Do me a favor.”
    “What’s that?” she asked.
    “Don’t mention my panic attack to anyone. Not even Kimberly, Phil or Brandon.”
    She giggled and leaned her head against his arm. “I won’t.”
    When they reached the waiting area for family members , there were already two people there. The last person she expected to see was Lucinda sitting there with Lillian Wright, but there the woman was and she was beaming from ear to ear as they approached. The gris-gris warmed against Sue’s chest and she released Alex’s hand to reach up and touch it. He glanced her way with his brows raised.
    “Alex. How is my boy?” Lucinda
